I WANT EVERY ONE TO KNOW THIS YEAR IS GOING WELL WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF RAIN AND EVERYTHING IS GROWING WELL -----JUST THIS YEAR THE DAYS WERE COLD AND THE NIGHTS ARE STILL FOR THE MOST COLD SO THE GROUND IS TAKING LONGER TO WARM UP WHICH IN TURN MAKES THE PLANTS LONGER TO SPROUT AND LONGER TO GROW.
........NO TWO YEARS ARE THE SAME BUT, PLENTY IS TO COME YET
JUST KEEP ORDERING AND SOME WEEKS YOU MAY GET SURPRISED...
ALSO ***** THIS YEAR MY SON -JOHN IS WORKING WITH ME OF COURSE HE HAS TO LEARN WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING AND HE COMES UP WITH GREAT IDEAS AS WELL AS HE IS A GREAT PEOPLE PERSON,
HIS WIFE PENNY IS ALSO WORKING WITH ME SHE IS GREAT AT THE COMPUTER AND PAPERWORK (THANK GOD SOME ONE IS) SHE IS GETTING EVERYTHING SET UP NOW THAT I GOT MY COMPUTER BACK. SHE WILL BE TAKING CARE OF MY PAPER WORK AND IT WILL BE FASTER AND EASIER FOR ME AND FOR YOU MEMBERS. YES, PENNY IS GREAT WITH PEOPLE ALSO AS HER FULL TIME JOB IS HELPING PEOPLE.
THEN WE CAN NOT FORGET THE UP COMING YOUNGEST GENERATION MY GRAND CHILDREN THEY TO ARE HELPING AND LEARNING. MY GRANDDAUGHTER LOVES TO WORK IN THE FIELD AND GRANDSON HE LOVES TO PICK BERRIES (THOU I AM NOT SURE HOW MANY REALLY MAKE IT TO US --HA HA).
A COUPLE MORE NOTES I HAVE TO ASK THAT WHEN YOU ARE HERE THAT YOUR CHILDREN PLAY OVER ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE YARD. MY GRAND KIDS ARE ALSO TRYING TO LEARN THIS. I CAN'T HAVE THE KIDS PLAYING ON THE SWING AND RUNNING OVER IN THE AREA SOUTH OF THAT AS MY GRAPE, BERRIES AND OTHER PRODUCE AND HERBS ARE OVER THERE AND ARE GETTING RUN ON I SEE SOME OF THEM DIED OFF. WE DON'T MIND THAT YOU OR YOUR CHILDREN SIT ON THE CHAIRS OR SWING BY THE HARBOR I JUST DON'T WANT TO LOOSE MORE BERRIES OR PRODUCE . ALSO, I AM TRYING TO KEEP THE HARBOR NICE AS I AT LAST GOT THE CHANCE TO BUILD IT FOR MOM SHE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS.
THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH FOR WORKING WITH ME AND I CAN NOT WAIT TILL MORE OF THE DIFFERENT PRODUCE IS IN AND THE PAPER WORK IS EASIER....BARB
